[cheers and applause] and today, as my call for a time frame to remove our troops from iraq has been echoed by the iraqi government and even the bush administration, even after we learned that iraq has a $79 billion surplus while we're wallowing in deficits, john mccain stands alone in his stubborn refusal to end a misguided war. that's not the judgment we need. that won't keep america safe. we need a president who can face the threats of the future, not keep grasping at the idea

their activities in iraq have been very negative for a number of years. they were the ones supporting many of these militia groups, the same militia groups they were supporting that prime minister maliki opposed and opposed at some political cost to himself within the shia community. so i think the iranians continue to be very aggressive on the ground in iraq and now they're aggressive in the overflight. now we've known for some years that iraq does not control its air space. it does not have, you know, interceptor aircraft that can go up and take care of its air space. so there is a definite problem there. and i'm sure it is something that's going to move very much to the top of the agenda in trying to deal with. >> chris hill, thanks so much. as always. and we'll be right back with more politics. the romney campaign, is it looking for a re-set button? or . i love new technology, so when i heard that american express and twitter were teaming up, i was pretty interested. turns out you just sync your american express card securely to your twitter account,

john serves in iraq in 2003 and again in 2011. john, your response to the lack of attention given to our troops and especially our troops in theater right now at the republican convention. >> i'm still shocked at governor romney's response. i can't believe he said that this morning. in r5rds to what happened at the republican convention, he has a very, very unpopular position on afghanistan. the president's position isn't popular. mitt romney doesn't have a timeline to end the war. he would commit 100,000 troops there for an indefinite period of time, basically involved in a type of insurgentacy that is more related to the future of the afghan democracy than what happened with american security. he's got the neoconservative george bush advisers around him who frankly never served, who wants to talk about a policy position that isn't supported by the military and isn't supported -- maybe is only supported by 15% of the country? and they didn't mention or talk about what they were going to do to help the veterans returning home. tha

jenna: why should iraq listen to us? >> i think it is very unlikely iraq will listen to us. i think the administration's decision to pull out combat troops simply allowed iran to increase its influence over the maliki government. that is one of the reasons i'm worried about stability in iraq itself. it was one of the consequences entirely predictable when this withdrawal went forward. jenna: but iran has been involved in iraq and iraqi politics now for a while, ambassador, right? we've seen this before. iran's technology has been responsibility for killing our troops in iraq and afghanistan. >> right. and i think the iranian influence in iraq has also been steadily increasing over these past several years. i think another thing to look at, iran using iraqi facilities to smuggle oil out of iran, to sell it on the world markets as iraqi oil or to allow it to be used inside iraq. there are any number of ways in which the two governments are cooperating to the disadvantage of the united states and our other friends in the region. jenna: ambassador, i'm looking at the headline up
